Cases and Materials on the Outfit Rosen: Cases and Materials on The Outfit David Rosen Don Corleone to Sonny, in The Godfather The Don sighed. "Well, then I can't talk to you about how you should behave. Don't you want to finish school, don't you want to be a lawyer? Lawyers can steal more money with a briefcase than a thousand men with guns and masks. " Robert Warshow, in "The Gangster as Tragic Hero" Thus, the importance of the gangster film, and the nature and intensity of its emotional and esthetic impact, cannot be measured in terms of the place of the gangster himself or the importance of the problem of crime in American life. Those European movie-goers who think there is a gangster on every comer in New York are certainly deceived, but defenders of the "positive" side of American culture are equally deceived if they think it relevant to point out that most Cases and Materials Americans have never seen a gangster.

There is almost nothing we understand better or react to more readily or with The Outfit quicker intelligence. This night, though, Pam had a different tale to tell. She announced that she and her friend Annie, the daughter of a prize-winning biologist, had gone to see "The Godfather," that they had been so deeply moved that, instead of going home, she'd gone tripping around town in search of the Mafia. I remember one night Pam showed up at the House at "The Mafia!" three in the morning.

  • Italian Americans and the Mythology of Crime: “The Godfather Paradox”
    Italian Americans and the Mythology of Crime: “The Godfather Paradox” STEFANO MARANZANA University of Arizona Proceeding of the AATI Conference in Cagliari [Italy], June 20-25, 2018. Section Cultural Studies. AATI Online Working Papers. ISSN: 2475-5427. All rights reserved by AATI. ABSTRACT: This article examines the portrayal of Italian Americans in American media. The Order Sons of Italy in America (OSIA), the largest and longest-established national organization for men and women of Italian heritage in the USA, denounces the entertainment industry for damaging the collective reputation of Italian Americans. Particularly, the OSIA charges Coppola’s trilogy The Godfather with being “the principal agent responsible” for promulgating a discriminatory ethnic stereotype that all Italians are criminals, while accusing the series The Sopranos of having reinforced this notion. Yet, the authors of these works of fiction, both Italian Americans, maintain that exploring their own ethnic identities led them to utilize the Mafia as a metaphor for American society. We will see that, not only it is unjust to accuse a movie trilogy to be the “the principal agent responsible” for such stereotype, but I would submit that The Godfather has helped to mitigate the negative image of the Mafioso existing in American cinema long before Coppola’s films, turning it into a liminal figure conveying a positive impression formerly missing. An examination of early American gangster movie stereotyping and scholarship on Italian American studies will substantiate the claim that neither The Godfather nor The Sopranos have truly damaged the image of Italians in America. Paradoxically, the Italian-as-a-gangster stereotype has helped Italian Americans to break out of the margins.

A SICILIAN LANDSCAPE - FULL VIEW - DAY We can barely make out the funeral procession passing over the burnt-brown of a dry river bed. The figures move slowly, seemingly from out of hundreds of years of the past. The MUSICIANS walking unsteadily on the rocky bed, their instruments harsh and blaring. They are followed by six young peasant men, carrying the crude wooden coffin on their shoulders. Then the widow, a strong large woman, dressed in black, and not accepting the arms of those walking with her. Behind her, not more than twenty relatives, few children and paisani continue alone behind the coffin.

  • The Family Is the Foundational Social Unit in Which Humans Participate
    Safavi: Of Earls, Kings, and Dons Safavi 1 Of Earls, Kings, and Dons: Examining the Interplay between Individual and Collective Interests in Families Amir Safavi, Columbia University The family is the foundational social unit in which humans participate. While a family may have fewer constituents than other social units, such as nations, the family may be more complex, as personal boundaries are blurred by intimacy. The needs and values of individual family members come into conflict not only with each other, but also with the necessities and conventions of the family as a collective entity. Authors and artists have regularly examined the issues and values of their respective societies through the lens of the family dynamic and its associated tensions. In turn, the topics addressed by these authors have served as a lens through which audiences can better understand the complexity of the bonds that bind a family together. William Shakespeare's King Lear and Francis Ford Coppola's film adaptation of Mario Puzo's The Godfather are examples of such texts. Shakespeare's play addresses the dialectic between the natural and the unnatural, with regard to human nature and political legitimacy. Coppola's film sheds light on the immigrant experience in early twentieth century America, the tensions between old world traditions and those of the new country, and the underground Mafia culture of the United States. King Lear presents the Gloucester and Lear families, while The Godfather tells the story of the Corleone family. An analysis of these families suggests that personal interests cannot coexist with conflicting interests of the family.

  • The Godfather
    Global Journal of HUMAN-SOCIAL SCIENCE: G Linguistics & Education Volume 17 Issue 7 Version 1.0 Year 2017 Type: Double Blind Peer Reviewed International Research Journal Publisher: Global Journals Inc. (USA) Online ISSN: 2249-460x & Print ISSN: 0975-587X The Sociolinguistic Features of Gangster Argot in the Godfather By Zheng Yang Shanghai Jiao Tong University Abstract- Modern linguists reached an agreement on the argument that language capability makes human species unique among all group-living species on the planet, so it can be hypothesized that a language could not survive if it were disconnected from interpersonal relations. Despite a well entrenched consensus on language equality among modern linguists, there is an intangible pyramid of languages due to linguistic discrimination. Gangster argot, which is subjected to a subliminal “censorship” from the vast majority of people, has seldom been considered as a decent and valuable topic in the field of modern linguistic studies. In view that The Godfather is exemplary of the way Mafia members speak in real-life scenarios, this novel is sampled as an optimal literary discourse to study what makes gangster argot different from ordinary speech. On the basis of literary specimens excerpted from the novel, this research concludes that gangster argot, which juxtaposes conciseness with confidentiality, is characteristic of adaptive resilience, absorptive capacity, and provocative rhetoric. Keywords: gangster argot, the godfather, sociolects, sociolinguistics.

Robinson. But there was a vital difference. Its examination of the Corleone family had a consistently human dimension that made the evil of the Mafia, who loved it for the wrong reasons, all the more horrendous. As a study of evil, it was all the better for assuming that such darkness emanated not from dyed-in-thewool villains but out of some of the family values we now most cherish. Added to that, of course, was the brilliance of its making, with Gordon Willis’ photography and Nino Rota’s score adding to Coppola’s fine orchestration of a terrific cast.
